In news as unexciting as his demeanor, Ohio State coach Jim Tressel’s contract was extended Wednesday. Apparently Tressel turned down a raise on the new contract which will run until 2015.

In coaching contract extensions are pretty much worthless and amount to legalese translation of “here’s what we’re going to pay you when we fire your ass.” But in this case, the extension is probably more about recruiting as the Tressel retirement rumors will likely begin to start in a couple years.
